About This Project

AirClad is a modular portable "shell" system to
rapidly create stunning architecture and spaces.

There is no limit to what AirClad can do- these
buildings are much more than just a pop-up
structure. AirClad creates a natural appearance
and durability that elevates the perception of an
event or stay. Airclad is a product with
foundations for a new light-hearted way of
contemporary living.
The AirClad is efficient, consisting of a frame
system made of aluminum timber or steel,
resulting in a rigid light weight structure. The
frame structures are provided Aircells, with a
constructive and insulatative effect. There are
no/minimal foundations needed for easy
installation. The AirClads "flat pack" and deliver
without complex operations. They offer a solution
for difficult-to-access areas or areas where
traditional construction is not possible.

The speed with which we can produce ensures
that AirClad may also provide for rapidly
escalating needs such as temporary events and
lodging or in disaster areas, etc.

Designers : Frederik and Nick
Brave and fearless we go with AirClad. We battle
to translate architectural solutions where no one
can match our jobs. We design and make
innovative inflatable and semi-permanent
structures. We have no hot air or pat answers.
Well - literally - inflated designs that transcend
the everyday and your ideas to a higher level.

AirClad invested into the design and development
of two large bespoke expo systems for KIA, on
their site at the Australian Open. As the main
sponsor of one of the largest tennis tournaments
in the world, it was important that they had an
impressive showcase structure to make the most
of their investment in the event. This bespoke
structure has created a large open plan event
space, enabling multiple areas, display cars and
interactive displays.
